I want to send this to my dad who lives in France: does anybody know if it would work with the difference of electrical power (watts) ; thanks

Thanks. My father wants it so have gone ahead and ordered it and yes he will use an adapter/voltage converter. Appreciate everybody's responses.

The power supply voltage is 120 V for this boiler. It will not work in France where the household power voltage is 240 V. Not sure if using an adapter/voltage converter would be a good idea; it is a relatively high power (750 Watts) unit.

This is manufactured for use in North America. You would have to use an adapter, which may not be best from a safety aspect. You can probably find one produced for use with 240V service.

I would have to let you know that info sometime this week as I do not have it on my to check - But isn't that information (voltage) noted on the detail summary that amazon gives you below the item? the voltage is not high, that was my problem with this item!! it odes nothing really, but maybe cause minor twitching while using it. and that's normal - I do not see why you wouldn't be able to use it overseas as it is battery operated. As long as you have batteries in it, it should work for you.

Chris - sorry so long for reply, either would do, as this unit only uses like 5.4 amps I think.... I'm actually getting a 1000 watter for next time. Hope this helps friend.

Hi jennica, i send it to my brother as a gift in Europe, he say's work good, but i have no idea if it will work in other countrys too. Take care

Yes, dual voltage means it works in France too! ;)You will need a Europe plug adaptor to get into their wall socket

I'm sorry Kris, I don't know. You might need an adaptor. There is a switch that I believe is for European wattages. Sorry I can't be more help.

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

The USA version uses 120 volts. If you can provide 120 Volts I would think it should work. It is not a power hog I think it uses under 400 watts at top speed.

Wish I could tell you -- threw it out because it wouldn't get very hot, so probably very few watts. I was using converter rather than auto outlet, so maybe that was problem, but that's what I needed it for. Good luck.

Yes it should work fine. I purchased this model recenlty and i live in Italy. I have had no issues with power and i am very happy with the unit. Hope this helps. Mike

This one will likely not work at all. I would suggest you get a voltage transformer rated at 900W or more.

Hello Your friend needs to go the hardware store and buy the power converter. We call it piggy nose. They use 200 210 or 220 volts, and one converter does work on any of those 3.

Its 110-120 american products, what you looking for exactly? are u trying to buy something for overseas? if yes the answer is NO, will not going to work 220 watt

That's more than enough watts. It should work with your power supply too. However, I would check any specifics on both manufacturers websites.

Wish I could help you. Brought it to give as a gift. From what I've heard it works great, but as far as wattage - no clue. Why don't you try googling company & contacting them for technical info. Good luck

I have not used this in Africa but plan to use this in France in June. Dual voltage is important. I think it will work.

It has a high and low heat setting, but I am not sure what the associated watts are. It works fine on both settings plugged into a house outlet, 110V.
